Carbon is expanding its partnership with Lamborghini in a big way. The 3D-printing company will manufacture central and lateral dashboards for the Italian automaker’s Sian FHP hybrid sports cars. Earlier this year, Carbon struck a deal to print fuel caps and air duct clips of Lamborghini’s Urus SUV.

Carbon Is On Fire

Launched less than five years ago, Carbon has been on fire of late, building relationships with some of the world’s biggest brands. Prior to teaming up with Lamborghini, the world's leading digital manufacturing company struck up a partnership with Ford. They also work with Adidas, Riddell, and Johnson & Johnson.

The Benefits Of 3D Printing

There are a variety of advantages for car companies when it comes to 3D printing parts, including a reduction in production time by 12 weeks over more traditional manufacturing processes. And it’s not as if the components weren’t put to the test, the EPX 82 material was subjected to a variety of stress tests.

Seeing The Effect

Lamborghini CTO Maurizio Reggiani said in a release, “...with the Carbon Digital Manufacturing Platform, we were able to go from an initial concept to showing the final part on a show car in only three weeks, passing through many different design iterations to get the best result. Just three months later, we were able to move into production.”
